Giant Killers Return with Catchy New Single “Around the Blocks” and a 2024 Makeover!

Indie-pop duo Giant Killers are here to prove that some things just get better with age—like fine wine or that old Blur tour t-shirt you’ve kept since the ’90s. The band has just dropped their second single, “Around the Blocks”, from their album Songs From The Small Places, and it’s as catchy as a Lightning Seeds track (seriously, it’s been described as “the best song the Lightning Seeds never wrote!”).
This track isn’t just another song—it’s an anthem for anyone who’s ever had to fight a little harder for their slice of happiness. So, what’s the story behind this earworm? Picture this: Jamie Wortley and Michael Brown, the masterminds behind Giant Killers, spent their formative years in communities where the odds weren’t exactly stacked in their favor. But instead of wallowing, they turned those experiences into gold. “Around the Blocks” is their love letter to the neighborhoods that shaped them, the overlooked places where people work twice as hard for half the credit. It’s a shoutout to the underdogs, and if you’ve ever been one, this song is your new anthem.
Now, here’s the kicker—this track isn’t new. It was a crowd favorite back in the day when Giant Killers were touring with Blur and the Blow Monkeys. But now, they’ve given it a 2024 makeover that’s set to win over a whole new generation of fans. And just like the song says, sometimes life really does come full circle.
So, what’s next for these indie-pop veterans? With “Around the Blocks” leading the charge, it’s safe to say the comeback is in full swing. Whether you’re reliving your youth or discovering Giant Killers for the first time, this is one band that proves good things really do come to those who wait—about 30 years, give or take.

Kilder Unveils Stunning New Music Video for Single “Dusk Till Dawn”

There’s something hypnotic about the way Kilder captures motion in his music. With “Dusk Till Dawn,” the Amsterdam-based producer leans into his genre-fluid sensibilities to deliver a track that’s as emotional as it is danceable. It’s the kind of single that transports you instantly — from fluorescent office lighting to the glow of a neon-lit street, from the mundane to the magical.
Sonically, “Dusk Till Dawn” is a lush blend of house, techno, and UK garage – but Kilder doesn’t just mix genres, he moulds them into something uniquely his. Every kick feels purposeful, every synth line like it has its own emotional arc. There’s a warmth to the track that wraps around you, even as the beat pushes forward with that late-night urgency.
The music video adds a deeply human layer to the experience. Following the journey of a man shedding his daytime persona, it’s a powerful metaphor for reclaiming selfhood in a world that often asks us to suppress it. The visuals move seamlessly from drab routines to liberating nightlife, echoing the sonic transformation that happens across the track’s runtime.
Kilder is no stranger to acclaim, and “Dusk Till Dawn” feels like another chapter in what’s becoming a very exciting story. His previous collaborators and co-signs – from Issey Cross to BBC Radio 1 – suggest an artist with both underground credibility and mainstream reach. The Spotify playlist placements and syncs with Apple only reinforce that he’s being heard in all the right places.
What’s most exciting is the promise of what’s to come. With an EP due in July and a growing catalogue of boundary-pushing tracks, Kilder is shaping a space where emotion, rhythm, and storytelling collide. “Dusk Till Dawn” isn’t just a single – it’s a statement of intent, and one that positions Kilder as one of the most compelling names in electronic music right now.
